Chris Christie, refocusing his attention after a politically rocky 2014, called attention to destigmatizing drug addiction on Tuesday at an event at the largely African-American church in Newark where singer Whitney Houston was memorialized.

Christie, who gave a speech on drug addiction after a longtime friend died of an overdose earlier this year, has tried to bring attention to helping nonviolent drug addicts over the past several years he’s been the governor of New Jersey.
